Celestial

Living with the bright lights of a big town, I miss being able to see the stars in all their glory. It's only when you get away that the magic appears - all part of being on holiday! My partner says though that you've never seen stars until you've seen them in the African bush when the entire sky twinkles and illuminates.

I painted this last night in an attempt to feel better. I don't! Although I did have the most amazing dream about three Kingdoms at war, a tangled forest, marbles and this giant inflatable that bounced me around like a rag doll!

Best leave this post there before you all think I've gone nuts...

    Sitting under the stars in the African bush sounds very exciting. I'll bet your partner has many stories to tell.

    I love the way the wording follows your girl's hair. She is lovely. Hope you feel better soon.

  7. I love to see words on art and this quote was an inspired choice. The picture is wonderful. She has a befitting serene look on her face and the way her hair flows (with words of wisdom) gives her an otherworldly presence. I really like this.

    The vivid dreams sound wild. I get vivid dreams but this one and a couple of posts a go rival mine.

    Sorry to read you've been poorly and I know you were feeling down before that (probably linked). I hope you start to feel much better very soon. Meanwhile sending you get well hugs. Kat X

  11. I know what you mean about the view of the stars in a big city - while seeing the stars in the African bush sounds like quite an adventure - I settle for a trip up to my grandfathers old homestead in northern Minnesota - to witness the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) one more time.

    Love your art piece.

    Hugs,
    Penny
